Heretic Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Do people even watch the games, do you even watch effort and execution? Everyone is playing great, and trying hard, the system works and the execution isn't there because we're tired and it's 7 games in. When your forward depth consists of a bottom 6 of Ebbett, Schroeder, Weise, Volpatti, Lapierre, and Raymond how do you expect to dominantly win games? You really think that bottom 6 is going to make us dominate teams like La and SJ? Canucks fans are babies The boys are tired and are going to need to play at 200% to even resemble what we were last year without Kesler and Booth. To blame the system when we basically have a 1st line with a rookie and 3 3rd lines what do you expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miles.p Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I expect the moon. This system hasn't worked when it counts. Who makes the system? The coaches. Sorry bucko - it's time for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayStation Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Motivation... AV needs to take classes in how to motivate a team. He doesnt even talk to the team because their "veterans" and know what their doing. Then why are you here AV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyNameIsTom Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Even if we have Kesler and Booth back in top 6 , we would still be doing dump and chase with a one goal lead in the third , sometimes you just need a change of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick-in-Rink Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 So it's not the coaches job to get the players prepared for a game? Cool. This has happened way too many times, not just this season but in the previous seasons where the Canucks have come unfocused and unmotivated. Even Ballard said himself yesterday that the team didn't come on the ice prepared. Tell me that the coaching was just supposed to stand there idly. AV does not spark this team, and even after losses (the loss against anaheim) he apparently doesn't say anything. I don't know what's supposed to light a fire under our team's ass right now, but the coaching is certainly not cutting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkeeterHansen Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Can't believe there are still AV defenders. Boggles my mind. He's a horrible coach and needs to be fired ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lui's Knob Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Whole coaching staff needs to go. Defense is terrible , special teams is awful, and holding a lead in the third along with not caring about shootouts has become tiresome under AV. Just one problem. There's nobody available. I wouldn't mind a retool this short season, draft a high pick in a deep draft, trade either goalie in the offseason, hire new staff and go young like the oilers...

Salmonberries Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 He thought that Aaron Rome was a better pp option than Keith Ballard. In the Stanley Cup playoffs. What kind of mind works that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 This is where you absolutely lost me. Have you even watched the games?????? Our powerplay has been given gift rapped opportunities to win games!!! With Red Wrapping Paper and A yellow Bow!! And they have failed miserably. This team continues to come out FLAT! Continues to blow 2-0 leads! Continues to give up crucial points! Continues to play the players that aren't playing well!!! (Case and point OT, Sedins were bad 5 on 5 while our 2 best forwards Schroeder and Kassian didn't get a SECOND of ice time.) This team is going NOWHERE in the playoffs with Alain Vigneault behind the bench (And no I'm not jumping on this bandwagon now, it has been my opinion for a long time AV has to go) Without goaltending this team is dead last in the Western confrence / Rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm not against a coaching change, and I wouldn't disagree if someone were to tell me it would be good for the Canucks, but I just don't see bringing in a new coach and system during a shortened season panning out for the Canucks. We'll likely live or die with what we've got. Come the end of the season though, I'd be all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
